According to reports Govt of Shehbaz Sharif bought rejected material of Nishat Mills (was made for someone else) then smartly use it for Punjab Police Uniform and made a legal transaction of 11 Billion into Mian Mansha's account. Now old uniform is restored for Punjab Police.

Well this is called systematic corruption. Inka paet kab bherega?

Mr Khan, who arrived in the city on Sunday, besides visiting and speaking at camps set up in different parts of the city as part of the PTI’s membership campaign, also addressed the ‘Meet the Press’ programme of the Karachi Press Club.

In reply to a question at the press club whether his party would accept Asif Zardari as president to form its government in the centre if none of the political parties got a majority in the elections, Mr Khan rejected the suggestion outright. He said how could he form an alliance with someone he had been criticising for the past 22 years.

He said rulers in Sindh had failed to deliver because their sole aim was to mint money from Karachi and transfer it to Dubai, instead of spending on people.

Holding Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif responsible for the `destruction’ of the country, Mr Khan said both of them would be clean-bowled in one ball in the next elections.

The PTI chief blamed the powerless local government system for all the problems being faced by the people of Karachi, including garbage dumps all around and supply of water mixed with sewage. He said the change was the need of the hour in Karachi as the city needed a unique local government system.

He said he was visiting Karachi again and again to make people realise that they should give a chance to a political party which was never tested before because those who were given the mandate earlier had failed to deliver.

Mr Khan claimed that the best local bodies system was in the PTI-ruled Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but the other provinces did not like to introduce it because it would endanger monopoly of provincial governments. He said Karachi had been ruled by the people who hailed from the interior of Sindh.

He stressed the need to elect the mayor of Karachi by direct election like the mayor of London and elsewhere in the world.

The PTI chief said if his party was given a chance it would solve basic problems of Karachi. He said Rangers were deployed in the city because the police had failed to restore peace. At present, he claimed, KP was the most peaceful province where not only crime rate had come down but incidents of terrorism were also almost non-existent.

In reply to a question, Mr Khan said Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari was still a child who was unaware of the situation prevailing in the country.

He termed the outcome of the Senate election a victory for Pakistan, which also augured well for Balochistan. He said the PTI did not allow Nawaz Sharif’s nominee to become the Senate chairman, otherwise the PML-N leader could have used him to make laws in his own favour.

The PTI chairman said that after coming to power his party would strengthen parliament. “Unlike Nawaz Sharif our prime minister would be accountable to parliament like in Britain,” he added.

In reply to another question, he said forming an alliance with a party whose chief was corrupt would amount to supporting corruption.

Earlier talking to newsmen at Karachi airport, Mr Khan recalled that the chief justice had given one week to remove garbage from Karachi. During the past 10 years of its rule in Sindh the PPP had ruined the province, he added.

Mon, 19 Mar 2018 03:57:40 GMTVladimir Putin will lead Russia for another six years, after securing an expected victory in Sunday's presidential election.

With almost all the ballots counted, he had received more than 76% of the vote, the central election commission said.

The main opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, was barred from the race.

Addressing a rally in Moscow after the early results were declared, Mr Putin said voters had "recognised the achievements of the last few years".

Speaking to reporters, he laughed off a question about running again in another six years.

"What you are saying is a bit funny. Do you think that I will stay here until I'm 100 years old? No!" he said.

The scale of victory - which had been widely predicted - appears to be a marked increase in his share of the vote from 2012, when he won 64%.

The shells were fired by Iranian border guards without provocation. The shells landed and exploded in an open space in the Parako area, a small village in Panjgur district.

Security officials said that mortar shells were fired in the early hours of the day, adding that no casualty was reported.

However, panic gripped the people of the area when they woke up to loud explosions.

Levies and Frontier Corps personnel rushed to the site where the shells had landed to collect evidence. The Panjgur deputy commissioner informed the officials concerned in Quetta about the incident.

Iranian forces have violated Pakistani territory with frequency in recent months and Islamabad has repeatedly lodged protests with Tehran over border violations.

Pakistan shares a 900km porous border with Iran and the two countries decided in 2014 to boost intelligence coordination to wipe out terrorists from the region.

Sun, 18 Mar 2018 15:32:36 GMTThe fiancée of Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja has spoken out about why she made the decision to convert from Catholicism to Islam.

Rachel McLellan, 22, from Brisbane, and her Muslim groom, 31, will tie the knot in what they describe as a 'big white wedding' next month following the cricket season.

Appearing on 60 Minutes, to be aired on Sunday night, the bride-to-be admitted she believed the misconceptions of the faith before she met Khawaja.

'I was very ignorant around Ussie, I will admit to that. I only listened to what I had heard on the news. All I read was well, terrorists and awful things.'

The Pakistan-born batsman - who became the first Muslim to ever play cricket in Australia - said his faith has always come first in his life.

And so it came as a surprise when he fell in love with the Catholic school girl.

Despite trying to challenge the stereotypes of the religion, Khawaja said the pair have faced outrage since going public with their relationship.

'A lot of times a lot of the hate I get is from other Muslims on social media,' he said.

'We will put up a photo of us two, and it will be like, "Oh she's not Muslim. That's haram, you can't marry her".'

Khawaja proposed to his then-girlfriend - who was born into a devout Catholic family - during a romantic New York holiday in July 2016.

As their relationship blossomed, the batsman said he never put any pressure on Rachel to switch religion for him - and insisted the decision was entirely hers to make.

Rachel made the decision on her own to convert to Islam after walking away from her Catholic roots last year

'I never was going to put a gun to Rachel's head and say you have to convert,' he said.

'I told her I would prefer her to convert but she has to do it on her own. Unless it comes from you, comes from the heart, then there is no point doing it.'

Walking away from her Catholic roots, Rachel made the controversial decision on her own to convert to Islam last year.

'[I felt] no pressure from him, not any pressure from his family. I just knew it was so important to him,' she said.

By sharing their story, the pair are determined to break down the religious and social barriers that still permeate society.

Sun, 18 Mar 2018 15:05:42 GMTOSLO — Norway's opposition Centre Party said on Friday it would join three left-wing parties in backing a no-confidence motion against Justice Minister Sylvi Listhaug, heightening the risk that the minority cabinet will fall.

Last Friday Listhaug rocked Norway's traditionally consensual politics by accusing the opposition Labour Party - target of the country's worst peacetime massacre - of putting terrorists' rights before national security.

On July 22, 2011, far-right extremist Anders Behring Breivik killed eight people in downtown Oslo with a car bomb and then shot dead 69 people, many of them teenagers, at a Labour party camp on Utoeya Island.

On Facebook last week, Listhaug posted a photograph of masked people clad in military fatigues, black scarves and ammunition with the text: "Labour thinks terrorists' rights are more important than the nation's security. Like and Share".

ADVERTISEMENT

Her post coincided with the premiere in Oslo of "Utoeya July 22", a movie about Breivik's deadly rampage, though she later said she had no intention of linking the two.

But her comments triggered a political storm, and she apologized in parliament on Thursday. Some opposition parties, however, said her gesture was not sincere enough.

"The role of justice minister is a special role. It is about preparing for emergencies and stopping hateful rhetoric. We want a peaceful justice minister," Centre Party leader Trygve Slagsvold Vedum told reporters.

The dispute erupted after Labour voted against a Listhaug-sponsored bill allowing the state the right, without judicial review, to strip individuals suspected of terrorism or joining foreign militant groups of their Norwegian citizenship. Labour wanted the courts to make such rulings. The bill was defeated.

The uproar underlines how Breivik's attacks, seen as the worst acts of violence committed in Norway since World War Two, are still touching a raw nerve in the affluent Nordic state nearly seven years on.

"It is a very special situation," political scientist Johannes Bergh told Reuters. "Usually a motion of no confidence is about issues between parliament and the government. This is about something that has happened on Facebook."

The opposition Christian Democrats, now holding the key to a majority against Listhaug, said they would decide on Monday how to vote in parliament the following day.

Their leader has accused Listhaug of wanting to be as populist as U.S. President Donald Trump.

The no-confidence motion was first introduced by the small left Red Party and backed by Labour and the Socialist Left. Unless Listhaug were to step down, and thus defuse the situation, her future will rest in Christian Democratic hands.

ADVERTISEMENT

Prime Minister Erna Solberg would then face the choice of letting Listhaug go, weakening the cabinet and risking a defection by her Progress coalition ally, or to decide that the whole government should resign.

Norway's cabinet is composed of the centre-right Conservatives led by Solberg, the right-wing Progress Party led by Finance Minister Siv Jensen, and of which Listhaug is a member, and the centrist Liberal party.

oh no, we are doomed ..

Sun, 18 Mar 2018 08:00:28 GMTDMK working president MK Stalin said he would welcome any attempt by the South Indian states to make a demand for a separate country. The comment comes within a week of two southern Chief Ministers complaining that the south contributes more in taxes to the Centre than it gets in return. However,...DMK working president MK Stalin said he would welcome any attempt by the South Indian states to make a demand for a separate country. The comment comes within a week of two southern Chief Ministers complaining that the south contributes more in taxes to the Centre than it gets in return. However, Stalin's comment had a more secessionist tone to it.

"If it (such a situation) comes, it would be welcome. We hope that such a situation arises," Stalin said in Erode, The Hindu reported. This had been in response to a question over the rising sentiment that the southern states should come together to demand a separate country of 'Dravida Nadu' (Dravida Country).

This is very distinct from the sentiments expressed by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. Siddaramaiah had complained in a column on Friday that the southern states are subsidising the northern states, and that there is no incentive for development. He had said the increasing stress on population as a keystone of policy making had devalued decades-worth of largely successful efforts in the southern states to bring the birth rate under control.

Naidu and Rao had complained about the fact that their states essentially give money to Centre and get little in return.

But Stalin's comments have a different resonance. The DMK, which was founded in 1949, had the creation of a separate country of Dravida Nadu as one of its key goals. It had dropped this idea as a key plank of the party in 1962, in light of the 1962 war with China.

The DMK's idea of Dravida Nadu involves the creation of a separate country for the people of the 'Dravida race', an idea that those in the south are racially different from the 'north Indian Aryans'. Genetic science has since comprehensively debunked this claim of racial difference.

Even when the DMK had held Dravida Nadu as a goal, it had done little to expand its own base outside Tamil Nadu, largely keeping to its pro-Tamil rhetoric.

The DMK had as an alternative also proposed a separate unit formed of the southern states that would continue to remain a part of India, but would enjoy autonomy in finance and governance.

Lets take the second paragraph first and then I'll give my views. @cricketjoshila and @Varun can then give the Indian perspective.

Lets take the two wars. I dont consider the first one in 48 a real war as it was still a result of the turmoil of partition and the massive fog of war both country's were engulfed in. I mean you had officers on both sides who only a few months ago were on the same side. And that whole Kashmir episode is chock full of diplomatic andpolitical skullduggery from the British that one cannot simply discuss it unless we start talking about the issues before. So lets leave that one aside for now.

So 1965. Now look at it from our point of view. it was only a few years after partition and its psychological horrors. The effect of the unfair (in Pakistan eyes) distribution of land and assets by the British and their swerve was very very fresh. We were facing an enemy way larger than usNow alot of people say "well Ayub khan shouldnt have ordered the special forces operation in kashmir". But from a military point of view it made sense. We had already engage Indian forces in the Ran of Kutch. There had been terror from afghanistan and we knew the soviets were in league with the Indians. Our sense of insecurity racheted up during the late fifities and sixties. Therefore it was only natural that a strongman like Ayub would have made a move like the one he did in Kashmir. But heres where he miscalculated. He thought that his operation was small enough to avoid a full scale engagement with our neighbour. Like the afghans had calculated with the pasthunistan stuff. The general consensus was that this at best would remain contained within the Kashmir theatre.

India on the other hand saw this as an opportunity to shut up Ayub and Pakistan once and for all. Give the Pakistan army a bloody nose. Hold some territory and then all this Kashmir Kashmir bakwaas will die down. Also a good pasting would help with the national mood of a newly independant nation and give India further status abroad as a responsible democracy that can combat pakistani style dictators. So Ayub miscalculates when it cam to India's response and India miscalculates when it comes to Pakistan's counter response. Suddenly you have the Indian army pretty much withnin shouting distance of lahore, the Pakistan army completely taken by surprise and scrambling (because they werent expecting India to invade across the international boundary, they thought at best it would be over the LOC which didnt exist at the time)..and then the comical halting of the Indian army who stopped thinking they were walking into a trap..

The whole war was full of stories of officers making blunders and junior NCO's fighting like lions. But What did happen was that once Pakistan got its act together it managed to push the larger more well equipped Indian army back over the border and even held some territory for a short period. They made a blunder by trying to be overly ambitious and then the Indians managed to counter attack within their own territory but overall from the Pakistani persepctive it was seen as a breaking of the unwritten rules of not crossing the border and keeping the argument in kashmir and kashmir alone. The PAF performed miracles and so did many of the PA units involved. Overall it was a solid defence of the nation. (After the initial miscalculation). Hence why September 6th is defence day not destroyed India day. It was not a "victory" in the traditional sense but a solid military defence of the nation and thats it. India also defended their ground well and caused plenty of headaches in kashmir but ultimatley both nations failed in their overall objectives although Pakistan managed to hold off india and give it a bloody nose. To the extent it would think twice about mounting such and operation again.

Now moving on to 71. I grew up with the shame of 71. My parents had great pride towards 65. I remember the stories well. My mother and her siblings used to watch the PAF take on the IAF from their roof. And then dive into the trench dug in the large veranda in their house when the siren would go off. One sober incident still stays with me however. My grandfather took out his gun on the first couple of days of the war when rumours began to swirl that Lahore had fallen and the Sikhs were coming. He simply said to my aunt and mum: " i will shoot you both first then shoot myself before I see you humiliated by the Sikhs"..47 was still very raw.

My mother used to tell us stories of how proud girls would be if they got a rishta from Dhaka. It was a big deal. East Pakistan was a part of us..it still pains us to this day, hence why when the Bangladeshis shout and scream we simply say nothing. The pain is too great for so many people still..

Now looking at the military aspect, this was a brilliant operation from the Indians. We were outnumbered, outgunned, demoralised and in the end surrendered due to the crushing of morale. West Paksitan defended its elf fine. The Indians knew after 65 that the West was a no go zone for them. But that was all a distraction. The real game was in the east where India held all the cards. The Pakistani border posts had come under heavey attack many months before the war started so that Mukhti baani cadres could be sent over the border. It was a civil war and India knew what it was doing. From the coup within the east pakistan armed forces to the propaganda. These tactics are still used today by many many countries across the world. We were caught with our trousers near our ankles and were essentially betrayed by Bhutto and the military of Yahya Khan. The PA of the time was a secular force , that was under pressure from various angles. Society, politics, all sorts of stuff. The PA was a mere microcosm of society at the time. With the cold war in full swing, we simply couldnt handle waht was thrown at us. A naivety built on the defence in 65 was ingrained. India scored a resounding victory and to this day that victory is ingrained in the minds of the PA...never again. lets hope there isnt a future miscalculation due to past victories or defences..

Moving onto Kargil. Look Kargil wasnt a war Thats just movie mania nonsense. It was an engagement.
So my opinion. Well remember I talked about the past coming to haunt us again? well it did so again. After Siachen the PA decided to draw up a response should anything like this happen again. Prior to the decision to go through with Kargil, Indian movements in that area were being closely monitored. After careful assessment and analysis, there seemed to be a concern that india was going to try another Siachen op. We had increased activity along the LOC e.g the SERI-bandala incident where 22 innocent civilians were killed by indian forces in AJK. The BJP had a begun a major military build up along the LOC , increased firing in Nakara,Dudunyal, Shahkot Jura and Nauseri. Pakistan had lodged countless complaints to the UNMOGIP. George Fernandes was visiting the front quite often at the time and alot of new procurements with regards to snow equipment were being made. All of this added to the intelligence analysis from the PA side. Something was up and something big was planned was the consensus. The fear of a another Siachen or worse grew..

The PA was further alarmed by the fact that the IA usually occupies vacant posts along the LOC in mid May. Now these posts are not usually occupied by either side by the PA knows the IA occupies these posts in mid May right up until November december. that year they went earlier, around April but as the Pakistanis were still occupying the posts there was a clash. This was in turtok sector.

Also Indian reserve formations in Ladakh move to the valley..in the kargil time period they didnt. They were retained in the Dras-Kargil sector. Again alarm bells began to ring in PA intel quarters..

There were further reports that Indian formations were dumping supplies and getting ready for some aggressive ops in the Shaqma sector, possibly as a distration for a wider op on the LOC..Having been alerted to intensified ops in the Shaqma sector, 10 corps decided to order a full scale assessment of the situation and inact a plan to counter any aggressive moves along this line. Mujahideen were also sued as recconassaince and mobile commando units to hold certain posts as the NLI was the force that would be used not the PA. the major PA formations were not to be sued as it was seen as a interdiction operation and not a full scale military engagement. However extra troops were eventaully called in after major action against Pakistan NLI posts. We couldnt get our forces to the area because the Burzil pass was blocked solid and hence a fullscale op was never in the offing.

When the IA heard the chatter in pushto and Balti between NLI forces it was assumed that these units were Mujahids..the PA on its part didnt bother to dispel this and we suffered later politically. Many of the forward Mujahid units we used for reconasissance and interdiction but in general the NLI was in charge of taking and holding posts and thwarting any aggressions from the other side...

Now I could go on and on about what ahppened after when things really escalated but theres no point. It just becomes a tu tu main main excercise.

What i want to highlight is the real issue in our relationship and that is partition. If you study all of our military engagements they are chock full of miscalculations, lack of communication, misperceptions, old nationalism and religious issues etc etc. Even Kargil stems from partition. and the issues around it.

We have to deal with this very painful part of our history and move forward. Its not about who won this or that. We all lost. The only people who won are sitting sipping tea and laughing at us. Everybody just need to take a step back and start talking or we will end up at the bottom of the indian ocean. And then theyll still be laughing at our stupidity!!

He died of a heart attack in hospital. “We announce with regret that former prime minister of Pakistan Mohammed Khan Junejo has died,” Radio Pakistan said. “Efforts are being made to bring his body back to Pakistan.” Junejo was a member of the National Assembly but held no other office.

Born in August 1932, he served as a martial law prime minister from 1985 to 1988 when he was dismissed by the late military president General Mohammad Ziaul-Haq after the former tried to assert his authority. Junejo was a graceful and reserved man.

Rauf Klasra has revealed in his recent program that according to his ‘credible’ sources, the army has refused Shahbaz Sharif’s plea bargain for Nawaz Sharif. He said that the various news sources confirmed that Shahbaz Sharif had suggested both Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz to disappear themselves from the stage by leaving the country, while he can go by his strategies here. Klasra says that army has reportedly given a cold shoulder to Sharifs saying that the matter should be dealt between them and the court’s, while the establishment will provide no aid in any aspect of the process.

Klasra further hinted at the possible reasons for the absence of Chaudhary Nisar from the entire scenario. He said that Nisar played no active role in the secret Sharif-establishment talks. Due to Nisar’s strong army background, his reputation and image in the establishment is comparatively better. Klasra says that due to that old link, the institution does have a ‘’soft corner’’ for him, which is why he has previously played the role of liaison between the army and Nawaz Sharif.

However, due to some differences and some attacks that have allegedly wounded Nisar’s self-respect, he has decided to stay away from the matter. He further added that Nisar contradicts with the party leadership on a number of reasons and the transference of leadership from Nawaz to Shahbaz will make no significant difference as Nawaz continues to operate the party at the back end.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Saturday initiated a crackdown against Hafiz Saeed-led Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and its humanitarian wing, Falah-e-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF), by seizing the organisations' offices and taking over the latter's operational matters.

Peshawar's district administration, with the help of police and other law enforcement agencies, had initiated action against the JuD in the provincial capital after receiving directions from the federal government.

“We have sealed the offices of the foundation, seized three religious schools and two mosques and handed over the seized properties to the Auqaf department to look after operational matters,” a senior official told DawnNewsTV.

The move came after the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) issued a notification asking citizens to not donate to organisations listed on a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) list of proscribed organisations.

After JuD and FiF were placed on the UNSC list, the interior ministry had written to the provinces asking them to take action.

Malik Nadeem Awan, a central leader of JuD, told DawNewsTV that after the Punjab government, the KP government had sealed and seizes the offices and ambulances of FiF in different districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

“A health facility in Balakot and office in Abbottabad has been sealed and ambulances have been seized and parked in police stations,” he said.

Hafiz Saeed, who in November last year was set free from a 300-day-long house arrest, has been repeatedly accused by the US and India of masterminding the 2008 attacks on the Indian financial capital that killed 166 people.

Saeed was declared a global terrorist by the US and UN over his alleged role in the Mumbai attacks. JuD is considered by the US and India to be a front for LeT, the militant group blamed for the attacks.
